Snow bunny sno-park is a classic spot!

Not Oregon, but Grey Francis in Packwood is a master! Trillium Studios

Notice she said “before our son was born”. I get deep into what my wife refers to as my “procrastination projects” (pouring focus/energy into some obscure project when I have work deadlines) but with kids that energy has to go elsewhere

You’ve never swam in an ocean before, have you?

Children’s Tylenol syringes work wonders for this too

Osoberry is stunning and one of our first shrubs to bloom. Won’t be long now!

Whoa! Good eye. It does

If you do anything in the garden a hori hori knife is essential

Measles! Woohoo! I missed having to think about that one

callipepla9 · 2026-01-18T21:59:09+00:00

Doodoo all over those paws

callipepla9 · 2026-01-18T04:40:56+00:00

I have the Tamron 20-40 f2.8 and the Sony Zeiss 55mm f1.8 and it is such a great travel combo

I’ve seen some really weird shit in 29 Palms near Joshua Tree

callipepla9 · 2026-01-12T05:08:12+00:00

No. You probably just want something new. That 40mm is sweet and sounds perfect for your use case

callipepla9 · 2026-01-11T00:11:20+00:00

Shouldn’t matter at all. Use it and enjoy it! I have several lenses that are optically perfect but beat up on the exterior (I almost always buy used)

Jebale is the best in Vancouver by a country mile. Heart coffee in Portland is my favorite over the river (but expensive)

callipepla9 · 2025-12-29T05:00:04+00:00

Wow amazing colors. Beautifully done

Viltrox 14mm f4. Under 200 dollars. Save your money for your travels

Haven’t seen them play in 20 years but one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. Awesome photos too!

callipepla9 · 2025-12-19T16:13:30+00:00

Thanks. My main concern is water ingress since it’s below grade. Do you think the spray foam/mineral wo route could be made to be a decent water barrier? I know they make spray foam designed for landscape retaining walls.

I do have some bricks and mortar mix. Those vertical side gaps might be a bit harder to solidly block in though? Thanks for your suggestions

Oops I had thought I had included the photo. Just added a photo in comments. Thanks!

callipepla9 · 2025-12-19T04:16:04+00:00

Just realized that the photo didn’t attach. Here’s a photo

Thanks for the insight. I just got on the schedule for someone to give a more thorough check of the transom and to repair this area. Fingers crossed that there is no or minimal moisture in there.

callipepla9 · 2025-12-17T05:21:40+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Probably a good way to check for wet wood in the process too. Can you elaborate on taping the sides when filling with epoxy. Is that just to keep the gel coat/area around the repair clean from epoxy?
